Latest Windows 10 iso file too large for DVD!

Anonymous

I downloaded the media creation tool for 20H2 Windows 10 version. Requested 64 bit version ONLY.

ISO file is over 4.7GB, does not fit on DVD. What should I do? I DO NOT want to mess with dual layer,

blue ray, or flash drives. Never had this problem before, seems like a glitch in the tool perhaps,

it does not compress the file properly?

This one works! Just burned it to DVD. So, this should resolve all the media format woes posted here? :)

Be sure to choose the second option to create media installation, unless you want to update directly.

    Use the Windows 10 Feedback Hub (winkey+f ) to make your suggestion.

    Microsoft sends messages requiring upgrade to the latest version as they are ending support of older versions. That is the point of needing to install a specific version.

    Your only option is to use a flash drive. That is the way I am going to go. They are not expensive.
